1. Integration of Naqli (Revealed)
Knowledge and Aqli (Rational)
Knowledge in Postgraduate Courses
for Open and Distance Learning
Dr Nurkhamimi Zainuddin
(USIM)

2. Introduction
• Knowledge experts made a separating line
between religious and modern science
knowledge (Nurkhamimi, 2011).
• According to Noor Hisham (2013) as the effect
to this disintegration, thus developed two
education systems that develop synchronously
but separated from one to the other and do not
meet at the end.

3. Naqli and Aqli knowledge
• 2 groups of knowledge that are classified
according to Islamic criteria.
• Naqli or revealed knowledge refers to Quranic
sciences that encompass recitation,
memorisation, interpretation, Hadith, Tawhid,
Islamic jurisprudence, Quranic Arabic and other
related subjects.

4. USIM scenario
• USIM aspiration to integrate Naqli and Aqli
knowledge to transform and create value for
country, ummah and humanity
• An attempt to develop and implement the Naqli
and Aqli to curriculum outline for each courses
were made by faculties since 2013…

6. USIM scenario
• Not many documented the integration of Naqli
and Aqli knowledge in (ODL) Postgraduate
Courses.
• The outcome from this unique courses will help
USIM in developing generation who can be the
creator of a civilization that can embrace
Islamic soul in a dynamic and positive way.

7. Methodology
• This is a qualitative study using literature
review and document analysis methods by
assessing and analyzing discussions in texts
content and being translated in the form of
narrative approach.

8. Result: NAPCOD development model

9. Discussion
• Several challenges from the dimensions of
staff, students and lack of reference materials.
• The greatest challenge in moving forward is not
to lose sight of the underlying principles and
concepts of integration of Naqli and Aqli.

10. Discussion
• The NAPCOD is needed to be done in order to
save the Muslims and humanity today from
problems and issues pertaining to crime
towards knowledge development and nurturing
process either in a family or in a society.
• In making this into a realization, the integration
process should be done in a serious, well-
planned and wise manner.
